Chelsea
have been offered the chance to sign Borussia Dortmund forward
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for £70m, according to Sky sources.
Sky Sports News HQ understands AC Milan are already in talks with Dortmund
over a deal for Aubameyang, while Paris Saint-Germain are also interested,
but no official offers have yet been made.
The Blues missed out on the signing of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United
and have now turned their attentions to other targets, including Real Madrid
forward Alvaro Morata.
Antonio Conte is keen to strengthen his attacking options ahead of the new
Premier League season having told Diego Costa that he is surplus to
requirements.
Aubameyang started his career at Milan, but never made a first-team
appearance for the club, instead spending time out on loan.
The Gabon international, who scored 42 goals for club and country last
season, has also received offers from the Chinese Super League, including
Tianjin Quanjian.
But any CSL club attempting to secure a deal for Aubameyang face a race
against time with the Chinese transfer window coming to a close on Friday.
The 28-year-old joined Dortmund from Saint-Etienne in 2013 and has scored 85
Bundesliga goals in 128 appearances.
He has three years left on his current contract at Dortmund.
